    This was an excellent break from the norm for lunch and some of the tastiest food I've had in the city. The room breathes in the Philadelphia landscape, allowing one to take in a delightful perspective. Whether having cocktails or dining out, this is the right location. On top of the marvelous catering to the eyes, nose, and mouth, the staff is quite outstanding and accommodating.

    I am celiac and felt comfortable eating here. The waiter was knowledgeable and they make a note to the kitchen that the meal is gluten free so there's no cross contamination. The tandoori chicken was delicious and I enjoyed my dessert too! Very fun vibe overall!

    Parc is consistently wonderful! The ambiance, the food, and the service. I am sorry I didn't ask our waiter's name last evening as he was exceptional! The food was superb. We were a party of four and all had different entrees: Steak/Frites, Ravioli, Salmon with Brussels Sprouts (divine!), and a vegetarian pasta with vegetables dish. Everything was excellent. For dessert one of us had the Creme Brulee which we all tasted and it was as superb as it always is at Parc. One of us had salted caramel ice cream oo-la-la! One had raspberry sorbet and vanilla ice cream. Maybe not so exciting a choice, but it was equally delicious. I highly recommend Parc to anyone who wants a fine meal in a delightful setting, any time. FYI: their breakfasts and lunches are equally great! Been there many times for both.
